The alkali metals have the following properties in common:
Chemical properties:
1. one valence electron
2. highly reactive
Physical properties:
3. low melting points (compared to other metals)
4. soft (can be cut with knife unlike other metals)
5. shiny surface
alikali metals- group seven
low melting point and boiling point- increases down the groups
dark colours- increases down the group
reactivity decreases down the group
react with metals to from ionic bonds or metal to form covalent bonds.
Looses electrons. Located : group 1 periods 1-7
EXAMPLE: lithium Li 3 L-1
Low melting and boiling point
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
They are soft, and generally can be cut with a knife, like cold butter.
Malleable, ductile, good conductors.
False!
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.
yes alkali and base have same properties
Vodka contains alcohol, so defnitely it has alkali properties.
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
The term refers to properties of a base.
It's an acid
no it is a alkali metal
lithium has the basic properties because it is alkali metal.
Base
It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
what are some properties of liquid matter?
They are soft, and generally can be cut with a knife, like cold butter.
Low melting and boiling point
